While Toronto Mayor Rob Ford was tackling questions about drugs and calls for his resignation, social media were abuzz about … his tie.

The mayor faced the press on Tuesday wearing a throwback NFL tie from 1995-96. One savvy seller tried to profit from the connection, offering the old school neckties on eBay for $24.99 with the tagline: “What’s that? You’d enjoy throwing on just such a tie for your next social engagement? Look no further.”

Twitter commenters were quick to note the fashion accessory included a logo for the Houston Oilers, who last played that season, while others noted the presence of the Washington Redskins logo amid widespread controversy over the use of that nickname. Not all the fashion reviews were critical, though. More than one commenter simply labelled the old tie “awesome.”
